Travels In The Interior Of Africa V2 is a book written by Mungo Park, a Scottish explorer who traveled through West Africa in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In this volume, Park provides a detailed account of his second journey into the interior of Africa, which took place from 1805 to 1806. Throughout the book, Park describes his encounters with various African tribes and their customs, as well as his struggles with disease, hunger, and hostile environments. He also provides insight into the slave trade and the impact of European colonization on the region. Park's writing style is engaging and vivid, offering readers a firsthand account of his experiences and observations. His descriptions of the African landscape and its wildlife are particularly noteworthy. Overall, Travels In The Interior Of Africa V2 is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in African history, exploration, and culture.The Mandingoes and, I believe, the negroes in general, have no artificial method of dividing time. They calculate the years by the number of rainy seasons. They portion the year into moons, and reckon the days by so many suns. The day they divide into morning, midday, and evening; and farther subdivide it, when necessary, by pointing to the sun's place in the heavens.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
